Quote of the Day (Don Henley, on Glenn Frey, Eagles’ ‘Spark Plug’)

“Glenn was the one who started it all. He was the
spark plug, the man with the plan. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of popular
music and a work ethic that wouldn't quit. He was funny, bullheaded, mercurial,
generous, deeply talented and driven. … I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I
know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever,
and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all
over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him
in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in
peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some."—Eagles
bandmate Don Henley, in a statement released in reaction to the death of Glenn
Frey, quoted in “Don Henley Calls Glenn Frey His 'Brother' In Heartbreaking Statement,” The Huffington Post, Jan. 18, 2016
